Commander Gorgo UPDATE!

Skin texture typically pushes a sculpt from "neat!" into a more organic, naturalistic rendering. Sharp needle tools are used to make "stretched" pores and wrinkles, a round ball-lookin' tool is used to make pores (thousands of 'em... very tedious), and then a citric-based solvent is used to smooth it all out and make it natural-looking... Pics of Gorgo's craggy skin after the jump...

Head-on shot of Gorgo's face. Note that the "pores" on the top left portion of the image aren't smoothed out yet with the solvent...


Side angle for light contrast.


And finally, a close-up of the skin around the eye-goggle.


Lemme know what you think, guys!
Cheers!

Bobby Mcferrin is awesome.

Wouldn't you guys want to be in this audience? I love how good they all sound. You know that most of the people in the room have to have shitty singing voices. Enjoy.

Team Radio Shack Cycling Kit

Team Radio Shack has finally released what their jerseys are gonna look like. I have to say I'm a little disappointed. I expected something a little more modern/awesome. With a team that has so many superstars on it, wouldn't you also want to be the ones that look the most professional while also looking the most badass? What do you guys think?

Who's Coming With Me?

Tonight is the unveiling of Virgin Galactic's SpaceShipTwo is tonight. Giz put up some picks I thought I would share with ya. I would love to be able to afford a trip like this. More pics after the jump.

We need more shows like this. This seems like it would be my new favorite show. Apparently it is just a concept right now. How do we get this made and shown in the US?

In the girls defense, if the guy has been there for months and not going to school or getting a job... shes justified in being upset.
But why destory the mans PSTriple? She should have sold it and all of his games instead. What say you?

Naughty Dog is about to do what a whole lot of game companies should be doing: giving us quality DLC for FREE! If you played the first Uncharted this should look familiar.

Video Games | Uncharted 2: Among Thieves | The Fort DLC Map Flythrough

XBox 360 | Playstation 3 | Nintendo Wii

Can't wait for this to hit! Assuming CoD:MW2 took a sizable chunk out of Uncharted's online activity, I bet Naughty Dog cant wait for it to hit either!
